How can you avoid putting the Chris Cornell song of the same name on the soundtrack? Disappointing.
Exactly for that reason, to avoid it. Cause the song has nothing to do with the movie unlike many Chris Cornell fans try to “force” everyone to believe. After you saw the movie or read the script you will know. The Chris Cornell song wouldn’t fit into the movie at all!
